Rocket Lab stock gains on a bullish Raymond James research note. Here’s why analyst Brian Gesuale recommends owning RKLB shares.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) stock fell 39% between mid-June and September 10, while the S&P 500 gained 2.4%. The stock fell 39%—about twice as far as L3Harris Technologies, down 18.9%, and far more than Lockheed Martin, down 1.3%, and Northrop Grumman, down 5.3%—suggesting company-specific headwinds compounded broader sector softness. Yet the company just posted record revenue, and the CEO counts more than $1 billion of new contracts since Q2 2026 began. None of that changed the Neutron rocket's calendar.

Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile both want to disrupt SpaceX, both reported earnings the same night, and both stocks just took a beating. Only one of them fits a diversified portfolio right now.

CEO Peter Beck blamed RKLB’s stock volatility on macro conditions, saying the business has improved across “every single metric.”

The reason has less to do with rockets than with what’s inside the panels.
